Brains usually decompose shortly after death—but not always. A new study catalogs thousands of preserved brains and suggests there may be a mystery mechanism keeping them whole for millennia. My interview with author Alexandra Morton-Hayward in News from Science: science.org/content/articl…

New research from the department, led by Alexandra Morton-Hayward, challenges misconceptions of ancient brain preservation! earth.ox.ac.uk/2024/03/archiv…

Fascinating research by Alexandra Morton-Hayward raises so many questions: obviously the first 1 to occur to my brain: why didn't Ice Age Zombies eat these brains? 🧟‍♀️🧠 ox.ac.uk/news/2024-03-2…

Soft tissue preservation in the geological record is rare. But Alexandra Morton-Hayward (Oxford Earth Sciences) has discovered that ancient brains are preserved more often than previously thought. 🧠 Discover possible mechanisms behind this exceptional preservation 👉 ow.ly/K78f50QXBU8

A new study catalogs more than 4400 known cases where brains were preserved long after death. Alexandra Morton-Hayward says these thousands-year-old brains could be a valuable scientific resource—and perhaps reveal clues to our past. scim.ag/6hQ

Dear Professor Emeritus ✍️ This is not an acceptable way to address a colleague. It's demeaning - but clearly you understand that, you just don't care. By all means though, continue to list all the things I can do for you.
